Canadian History Impact Study


The federal government has hired your research team as a long range forecast analyst. Your job is to study the current situation of one Aboriginal group in Canada. You must look at six events or issues from history and determine how each of these Impact Points has contributed to changes in the lives of the group. It is important that you also note continuity (what has stayed the same) over a significant period of time. You will utilize primary and secondary sources, timelines, maps, and tables as data for this task. Finally, you will hypothesize possible future issues based on your understanding of the history of the group.

The above information will be compiled in a binder or wiki to be presented to other research teams (the rest of the class). Each topic section should be 3/4 to one page long, not including images, diagrams, charts, or maps.
